Kim Namgil and Seo Kyungdeok Collaborate on Hangul Campaign
On October 9, 2025, Kim Namgil and Professor Seo Kyungdeok announced their collaboration on a significant Korean language campaign aimed at promoting Hangul globally. This initiative coincides with the 579th Hangul Day, a day dedicated to the celebration of the Korean writing system and its cultural significance.
Donations to Support Korean Language Education
As part of their efforts, Kim Namgil and Seo Kyungdeok donated educational supplies to the ‘Jaemontelai Hangul School’ located in Mexico. This marks the latest in a series of donations aimed at supporting weekend schools and study groups for foreigners learning Korean, addressing the growing global interest in Korean culture, including K-pop and K-dramas.
Previously, the duo has made generous contributions to several educational institutions. Their first donation was to the ‘Grutugi Hangul School’ in New York, USA, followed by support for the ‘Kannan Sadang Hangul Cultural School’ in Vancouver, Canada, and the ‘Hangul Learning Center’ in Budapest, Hungary. Each of these initiatives underscores their commitment to making the Korean language accessible to a broader audience.
Future Plans and Cultural Events
Looking ahead, Kim Namgil expressed intentions to continue supporting organizations that promote Hangul education worldwide. He emphasized the importance of educational resources in fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Korean language. Additionally, both Kim Namgil and Seo Kyungdeok are set to participate in the promotional video for the upcoming ‘2025 Hangul Hanmadang’, a cultural festival celebrating the excellence of Hangul.
This ongoing campaign not only aims to enhance educational support but also seeks to celebrate the rich cultural heritage of Korea. As interest in Korean culture continues to soar globally, efforts like these are crucial in bridging cultural gaps and fostering international connections.
